Emancipation

Why do you try to confine me?
When clearly there is too much debris
In your life that leaves no accommodation for me 
Seems I have taken on a new profession 
As a warrior princess
Consistently confronting your battles
Feels like I've been stampeded
By a herd of cattle 
The melodramatic abuse I have suffered
Is too overwhelming for me
Seems as if I'm only an item to you 
Not a person who has been 
Scorned by you time and time again 
After this long drawn out war 
I stand well-established as a Queen 
And not as your whore 
Emancipate me from this mental imprisonment 
So i can move on with another that will engage
My life with love, passion, and tranquility 
Something you could never give 
Now release me....
So I may live on with my true king
